When was the last time that you had a popsicle? As a popslinger during the day, Chris gets to ask that question to new people of all walks of life and their stories behind these Popsicle memories every day. Whenever it is a hot summer day or a gloomy rainy day, a fresh popsicle could make the world feel so much better.

Chris has always been open to new opportunities and stepped out of his comfort zone by saying yes to things. During his years as a student at Vanderbilt, he has always taken that adventurous spirit from taking the lead role for the theater production Vanderbilt Off Broadway and starting his own business in college. When he explored financial industries, ran his own insurance agency and sales, and worked for a start-up, Chris then took on a completely new step when an opportunity emerged: being the neighborhood partner for Nashville King of Pops. This has been an incredibly fulfilling journey where he gets to bring joy and happiness and witness the magic of popsicle in making people's days better.

Tune in for this episode where Chris shares about his journey from college onwards and these adventures as well as the identity shift, regaining perspective and now fulfilling experiences involved with the popsicle stand.
